Zachary Quinto recently came out as a gay man, which inspired Dan Kloeffler similarly to come out during a 3:00 a.m. newscast on World News Now.
Rather than the more common route of “I’m gay,” Quinto qualified his work in Angels in America with “as a gay man…” and boom, he was out. Quick and easy, right?
More playfully, in response to the story about Quinto’s revelation, Kloeffler said “I’m thinking I can lose my distraction about dating actors right from that one, maybe.” We get distracted by the term “lose my distraction,” yet the essence of coming out as gay is all there.
Whereas Quinto tells us he’s gay, Kloeffler shows us.
And if you’re nervous in the midst of showing who you are, it’s OK; you’ll make your point well enough.
Watch and listen for yourself:
